While opening a gallon of milk that has a shelf life of 2 weeks, wondered why its about only a week in India.  Ultra Pasteurized milk  with a shelf life of months seems amazing. At first I thought since fresh food is preferred in India, probably there is no market for too preserved. But with milk it seems to be the first mile problem. Local chilling would need continued electricity or diesel operated engines which increase pollution as  Promethean Power systems  with a solution of  Milk Chillers in India  that run on thermal energy. This heralds operational efficiency. Love that out of the box thinking of beyond the solar window. Then there is the refrigerator needed to store at home. Longer pasteurization would need huger storage and transportation network. With all the nutritional benefits gone in ultra pasteurized, should it be made at all?

Unwarranted Analogy Intelligence Augmentation Vs Artificial Intelligence

The Cambridge Handbook of Metaphor and Thought Chapter 18 - Metaphor and Arificial Intelligence Is the meaning making of data analysis be used as a metaphor bridge to identify  Looking at two neural networks, can the quantification for closeness be done? Thought of this connection after reading the below in  Philosophy in the flesh According to Lakoff, metaphor appears to be a neural mechanism that allows us to adapt the neural systems used in sensory-motor activity to create forms of abstract reason. "If this is correct, as it seems to be," he says, "our sensory-motor systems thus limit the abstract reasoning that we can perform. Anything we can think or understand is shaped by, made possible by, and limited by our bodies, brains, and our embodied interactions in the world. This is what we have to theorize with." or  humain brain and neural networks connection

Is common sense  Reification ? If our normal mode of operation  is looking at system as a whole , how is it that errors come from not having thought of the change/effect plugged into the system function. That makes top-down learning better for sytem maintenance or fixing.

Some need more effort than the others. Low hanging fruit makes you think that they are easy to get but not all fruits are the same. Especially luxury gets premium, going a little further, surplus or incremental gains being tougher to integrate, have to be for needs that are customised like the Schroedingers cat, where your top of the orchard maintaining its fruits is assetful but when you start realising them might be more cost prohibitive. Your ladder defines the market niche of fruits available to you. Diminishing returns You stay at a technology node and reap the fruits, while you are doing this, you have to either find a telescopic stable, ladder that gets you to the next rung of availability, hopefully no one has done that already or you have another tree or orchard else where to get your next fruits from. Having started/planted  a new orchard helps too. Creeper limited to the horizontal space but resistant to a local damage. Trunk - Cost of Robustness of tree like the systems...

While reading  Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor Like pick two from the triangle , I wondered of "mandatory pairs" from the DDD or the SLP mixed, the opposite of clear yes or no. Its like the Gain bandwidth product . One choice stymies other. Pick one at the cost of other or use it to your advantage like the momentum which is mass multiplied by velocity, and as mass drops you are able to go at a higher speed. Do Entrepreneurs exploit this kind of some product, unknown to the world. What are other configurations? Risk and Reward. This is symmetric mandatory pair. Sleep less so you can work more and vice-a-versa When there is a minima or maxima for the exclusives, then you reach b urnout.

" Over a long-enough distance, the sound of you saying "hello" would bend upward into the sky." . The effect is too tiny to measure with existing technology Once a technology is ready, then you could prove  unproven theories from 1933 or even older  like in this case where " calculating the field for a material like iron remained a formidable challenge" until  Ultracold fermionic atoms came along to "offer a way of studying the Stoner model because the interactions between the atoms can be fine-tuned by applying magnetics fields."
